Fishing Spider Identified

awesome web site Greetings I happened to stumble across your website in search for some info needed to identify a very large (well for me!) spider. I only wish I had my camera since he was over 4 inches including legs. I identified my spider as a fishing spider in less than 30 minutes. It is one of the best databases I have seen! I cannot say I will enjoy it, since I have an abnormal fear of ANYTHING creepy crawly, but it is certainly fascinating and wonderful!!! Excellent work………. Regards, a non bug lover E Cossean
